    Mercruiser V-8 distributor assy w/cap wires rotor

    $75 each INCLUDING shipping via USPS. I have two of them. Same unit in standard and counter-rotating engines. Assembly part # is 805185A36 [new #] or 90747A3 [old #]. Assembly is used, but cap, rotor and wires are nearly new, less than 10 hours. Last year I replaced Thunderbolt-IV ignition...

    If you have a bad Thunderbolt-IV module...

    If you have a bad Thunderbolt-IV module, bite the bullet and install a new ignition system rather than replace the bad module. Here is why: 1) COST- a new T-bolt-IV module, if you can find one, is going to be north of $300, if you can find it. A used one is...USED; how long is it going to last...

    Fogging has nothing to do with closed vs. open cooling. Fogging is to protect intake valves, cylinders, rings, from corrosion.

    Ever see a Sea Ray walkaround fishing boat ??

    Neither had I, until last Sunday. There is now one on a boat lift across the creek from my marina. Looks to be of 1970's vintage, about 20-22 feet, with an i/o. I saw a 1970's Sea Ray center console about 5 years ago, but never saw a walkaround.

    Kohler 5E overheating

    Trying to help a friend fix his 330 generator Coolant boils out past the pressure cap. Cap has been replaced, thermostat and impeller replaced, and it has very strong raw water flow. The only other thing I can think of is a head gasket leak allowing exhaust gases to pressurize the antifreeze...

    Port engine won't get full revs when trying to plane

    It isnt caps/rotor/plugs. Clean the spark arrestor. Possible clogged fuel filter.
